What the FPSM would

replace

• Fire plan sketches currently
drawn by hand with paper and
pencil and passed up chain of
command by hand.

Currently no easy way to create ,
combine , communicate sketches

8

w

• Digital fire plan sketches, created ,
combined, edited and transmitted
electronically

• More importantly NOT created only by
someone sitting at a computer terminal ....

• BUT, on the ground by a unit leader with a
handheld (D-DACT) utilizing embedded GPS
to record unit, weapon, and control measure
position and orientation data.

• This functionality cannot be provided by the
existing overlay injector...

• If the Tactical Data Network and the
Dismounted DACT/C2CE become a reality, the
FPSM will be a useful tool for the Marine
Corps that will save time and effort speed the
sharing of important defensive information on
the battlefield.
